Abstract

A variant of the lattice Boltzmann scheme is presented as a mesoscopic model of glassy behavior. A hierarchical density-dependent interaction potential is introduced, which allows the coexistence and competition of multiple density minima. We find that this competition allows to model geometrical frustration which produces disordered patterns with sharp density contrasts and no phase-separation. A way of modeling mechanical arrest of real glasses is also proposed and discussed.
